Ahead of the release of the second episode of India’s Got Latent Season 2, Samay Raina expressed his excitement about sharing the stage with Kiku Sharda, Chandan Prabhakar and Harssh Limbachiyaa. He wrote on his Inastagram Story, “I grew up watching Chandan Prabhakar, Kiku Sharda and so many shows written by Harsh Limbachiya. All of them made me laugh so much and shaped my comedy in a big way.”

Samay added, “Tonight I’m going to do Latent with them. I can’t believe it! I’m so excited for you guys to see me jamming with my comedy heroes. These guys are veterans, I can’t wait.”

India’s Got Latent controversy

Last year, Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent found itself at the centre of a major controversy after guest Ranveer Allahbadia made an explicit remark to a contestant during one of the episodes. The comment, which involved the contestant’s parents, led to multiple FIRs, police investigations and legal proceedings against the creators, panellists and others associated with the show. In the aftermath of the controversy, Samay removed all episodes of the subscriber-only show and stepped away from public appearances. He returned in 2026 with his stand-up special Still Alive, in which he reflected on the ordeal.
